I think that this date back to the CB radio slang of the late 70's, the code 10-86 meant 'Forget It'.
It originated at Chumley's, a famous 1900's New York speakeasy located at 86 Bedford St.. During Prohibition, the entrance through an interior adjoining courtyard was used for it was both discreet and private. As per New York tradition, cops were on Chumley's payroll, and when they were about to raid the joint, they would call ahead. The bartender would then give the command "86 everybody," which meant that everyone should hightail it out the Bedford St. entrance for the cops were coming in through the courtyard.

What came first the chicken or the cat?
neither. it was the road of life that was first. the chicken has to learn how to cross the road to become the everlasting egg. or was it the egg that has to learn how to become the never dying chicken? think of the earth as an egg. under incubation for a while just waiting for a chance to hatch and fly off. visit the end of the 2001 space oddesey movie and you will get it. remember it is all in the books, tapes , and discs. end of discussion. in my version of the looking glass book he does not fall. a nasty side reference is the Wallendas (sp?).<is it the www.of deceit.con?> tough stuuff. look at the alphabet: 666 is fox. time that is a crime as well: 666+6 just as there are no ledges in the houses of lies and bribaries (the library). hold on a second: charlie brown's head looked like an egg! he philosophized on a brick wall just as H. Dumpty did. his jersey even appeared as a broken egg in the colors of a school bus. why are the schools so cruel? they even feed gruel. perhaps that this is because this curse just gets worse and worse.perhaps because this verse is terse. i can go on for a bit more yet it gets to be a bore. the 666s: 60 seconds (6+0=6), 60 minutes(6+0=6), 24 hours (2+4=6). just for good measure we encoded it like this: 24/7 (24x 7= 168. check this out:we all know the term 86ed and the presisident gw was #43. 43 =1/2of 86 and 168:1+6=7,7+8+=15, 1+5=6 just for good measure) look up the word catagenisis.took me long enough to this blog to tie this into the main questionthis,eh?. the alphabet: f is the sixth letter, o is the 15(1+5=6), and x is the 24(2+4=6). so fox is 666 fox nuisance and noose anybody? ruprert(ruppee(sic)) thing one:monkey see monkey pee). thing two: monkey see monkey doo-doo.(gone the way of the dodo). we gave it to you all and you did not take advantage of it! yertle heads!bill gates: the almighty dollar and the all seeing eye through the window.both of their currancies did not see a thing santa (same letters as Satan just rearanged. they both even wear red. perhaps that is the most blatent bipolar disorder. in some Dennis miller fashion i am tired of this rant. we overlayed this place thoughly, enough said. listen to a tune and you will see a toon. watch a toon and you will hear a tune. your gods are frauds and they know that. just as your wizards are lizards. LOSERS! who knows if this will all get edited out because truth is something easily dismissed in the eyes of blindness. just thought i would try to toss it out there.
